Hi,

I see 2 solutions :

-in the printer box that open when you want to print a report, you can select print to file avec select pdf format ==> fast and simple no coding required

-you can use the reportrun class to generate your report directly in pdf without preview :

quickly on a button clicked() method:

filename = strfmt("%1%2",reportname,".pdf");

path = “\\Server\Directory”";

report = new ReportRun(new Args(ReportStr(yourReport)));
report.query().interactive(false);
report.report().interactive(false);
report.args().caller(null);
report.args().parm(yourParm);
report.printJobSettings().setTarget(PrintMedium::File);
report.printJobSettings().format(PrintFormat::PDF);
report.printJobSettings().warnIfFileExists(false);
report.printJobSettings().fileName(strfmt("%1%2",path,filename));

report.run();
